Which car would cost LESS to buy and drive for 100,000 miles, a Prius or a Yaris?


Well, lets see!

Yaris = $15,000

Prius = $25,000

Oh my my my you just spent $10,000 more if you bought a Pruis!

Now for 100,000 miles at $3 a gallon assuming your Prius gets 40 miles per gallon you are going to spend $7500 for gas.

At 30 mpg for the Yaris you will spend $10,000.

Well gee golly willikers you spent $10,000 more and SAVED $2500 by buying a Prius instead of a Yaris!

That cost you $7500!

What you did was take the money you would have given to Exxon and gave it instead to Toyota! And, you're so considerate of others, you gave Toyota a $7500 BONUS besides!
How NICE of you!

And all because you want to drive a more fuel efficient car!
